“GERB will put my portrait on the wall and canonize me.” Thus, Boyko Borissov answered a question whether he was worried that Boyko Rashkov might go to Bankya and arrest him. In an interview for “24 hours” the GERB leader reviews the party’s performance in the elections, its 10-year rule. Borissov came to the conclusion that if he made mistakes, it was only in the beginning – 2009.
The prosecutor’s office finds a special place in his thoughts on public administration. According to Borissov, because of Minister Boyko Rashkov and his methods, “only the prosecutor’s office remained a supporter of democracy”. He also began to consider the role of the Ministry of the Interior in the structure of the state and ordered the police to the prosecutor’s office as an investigative body. “They should not become repressive. If there is a change and if there are logical proposals, so that there is no legal possibility to allow this, then who is there (in the Ministry of Interior) will not matter. That is why in the Ministry of Interior we separated the political from the professional leadership. And now the Minister in the Ministry of Interior is everything. “, says Borisov I knew. He named operations after judges, do you remember? We did the same thing and I am ashamed to remember what we did. “Your example is correct. They (” We continue the change “) fly downhill with full force, repeating all our mistakes. But we made mistakes in 1 year, and they make mistakes in 1 day.”
But against Rashkov’s background, according to Borissov, the only guardian of democracy is the prosecutor’s office: “And let me tell you, the chief prosecutor was elected according to the rules of Bulgarian law. Boyko Rashkov, SANS, KPKONPI, his people in the prosecutor’s office – what is happening with your political opponent ?! But this statement by the Prime Minister does not sound outrageously obvious. “
It turns out that Borissov is very pleased that the prosecutor’s office will check the serial numbers of the bars from the photos of his nightstand in “Boyana”: “First, I’ve never had bars. I’m glad they want to check, because they’ll go to the bank and see. Many times we joked with friends that if I had, I would keep them in Bankya, and not where hundreds come in – cleaners, gardeners, whoever. I have very big suspicions about who did it and I will prove it. I have already eaten the slaps on the subject, but let them check.
I have never relied on the prosecutor’s office or anyone else, and I have always thought that I should be equally and equally distant. I do not agree with the decision of the prosecutor’s office on the case with Prime Minister Petkov, but once they have decided it, I accept it. So much. “
Borissov continues to be considered the most prepared statesman in Bulgaria at the moment. “Even in the country, I do not see anyone more experienced and knowledgeable and capable than me in this field. (…) We were in the banking union and the waiting room of the eurozone before Croatia, and Croatia will now enter the zone. And Bulgaria will not enter. Because they don’t work for it. The Minister of Transport comes out and tells you that he left the company to his family, and he is the boss of the competitor – the post office. His first decision of the Council of Ministers was to build an airport in Ruse so that he could leave. Isn’t this a conflict of interest ?! Mr. Petkov’s business is nutritional supplements and the first decision is to take the BFSA under his direct authority. Not to be with Cornelia Ninova, but to be with him. If we did, can you imagine what would happen ?! Today I am becoming prime minister and from tomorrow they will make the airport in Bozhurishte so that I can fly to Bankya. That’s not how it’s done.”
In two places in the conversation, he stressed how wise he had been to build the Balkan Stream, becauseand when we were building Balkan Stream, one of the goals was that when the southern gas corridor passes through one territory, it is not a goal. (He means a military goal.) That’s what I thought geostrategically about. You remember my statement that I want to have gas pipelines, tourism, sailboats in the Black Sea. “Bulgaria paid BGN 3 billion for the transit gas pipeline, from which gas in Bulgaria does not remain, but connects Turkey with Serbia.
